On Sunday, CBS adds a hit drama to a prestigious, award-winning lineup. The acclaimed news magazine 60 MINUTES returns for its 45th season to open at 7:00 PM, followed by the eight-time Emmy Award-winning THE AMAZING RACE at 8:00 PM and the critically lauded and award-winning drama THE GOOD WIFE at 9:00 PM. A proven ratings winner at 10:00 PM, THE MENTALIST moves to Sunday to close out the night.

Redwings, that would only be true for markets airing only a late afternoon game on the east coast feed.

What applies in all instances is that the kickoffs will be at 4:25 pm ET/1:25 pm PT.

But yes, it virtually guarantees overruns whenever an east coast merket is airing a late afternoon game, singly or as part of a doubleheader. Guess I'll have to reprogram my DVR to record two hours for TAR now.

The NFL also changed regulations regarding blackouts. Now the team gets to decide whether or not they black out their game rather than being forced to if they didn't sell enough tickets. This could possibly lead to more games being shown overall. Also, if there are more games on at once they will all be ending at different times, possibly causing different start times for 60 minutes in different markets.

Speculation: Looks like we're going to likely have a "piggyback" of episodes somewhere this season, since a season of 12 consecutive weeks would end on December 16th (and CBS would not have a Survivor finale on December 23rd.) So I would suspect the possibility of a 2 hour December 9th finale.
